GUNTER, Texas (KXII) - Gunter ISD head baseball coach Daryl Hellman has been placed on administrative leave and is not expected to return after the district investigated claims that he made inappropriate comments.

In a Sept. 1 letter to parents, Gunter ISD Superintendent Dr. Brandon Enos confirmed the head coach will not return to the school.

Although the District does not have information from TEA / SBEC prohibiting Coach Hellman's employment, Coach Hellman will remain on administrative leave with pay, and he will not be returning to duty pending a recommendation by the Superintendent to the Board to terminate or nonrenew Mr. Hellman's contract and suspend him without pay.
